Well, there was the RF11 (which would access data in "words", not
secotr/track/etc kinda like a DF32 on steroids). But I didn't realize
that MASSBUSS had been around way back then; more the thought that at
that point controllers were very specific to the drive (like my RK08)
and not in any sort of "class" (like the RK11, the RK06, and the like)

I wonder what the RK06 controller was supposed to be.

I'm not sure exactly what you wonder about it. I have one
(but alas, no disk drive for it); it's called RK611 and can
control RK06 and RK07; it is a lot of small FlipChips in a
specially wired backplane (somewhat similar to a DD11).
